Rolo Mousse - The husband can't find his yoghurt in the fridge. Cue him walking out of the kitchen asking where it is, in the meantime his smug, greedy wife emerges from behind the fridge eating it. Then the voiceover declares, "new Rolo mousse desert, would you share it?". Um, the ad-makers are clearing forgetting it was the HUSBAND'S yoghurt in the first place, so it should be him not sharing it
Considering the tagline of the 80s/90s Rolo chocolates adverts were "Who would you share your last Rolo with?" so the original ads were all about sharing. It seems the current Rolo Mousse ad is about doing the opposite.

Did they randomly pick famous names out of a hat ? Might as well have Alan Carr being married to Sarah Millican.

That song and singer are just nauseating.
He's singing it as if he's thinking to himself "When people hear this, they are going to be SO MOVED by my voice!".

The advert for the business show expo.

It has a man who's delivery is more bland than mine and cannot stop waving his arms about.
I'm thinking his thoughts are more on where he's going to be skiing after filming finishes rather than the advert itself but what's really bad about the advert is the small print that tells you he won't even be at the expo.

Why have him, or still have him in the advert?

The meerkats have been played out to death now. Likewise, the man with the huge arse in the denim shorts and the obese workman.
Don't mind the obese man but he's an American and it leaves me wondering what he must think of the uk when they have him in an advert opposite a man with a fat arse in denim shorts and high heels.

But from what I hear the advert still makes more sense than a lot of American ads

Nope, same ones as before. The son didn't seem to be there though.

The Barclays spirit of the game advert, featuring teens with the most hideous nasal faux black accents I've ever heard. "Look how cool I am, I'm white working glass (-ish) from London and I wish I was black!"

I'd be more forgiving, if the were in Tesco to buy supplies for his funeral buffet.

Tesco setting a bad example. The family (minus the son) are using cheap Tesco bags instead of reusable bags, thus incurring the bag levy.

The girls doing 'ride on time' with the artificial stretchy-gob thing that I first remember seeing in The Mummy and which works in horror films but not in adverts...

Horrific, nearly as unpleasant as the Dominoes ones that use the same schtick.

I bought some of that oral b mouthwash the other day as the advert says it has "no burn", but it's garbage, it burns like any other mouthwash. It also relieves you of your tastebuds for an extended period of time. I know many mouthwashes can do this, but it seems worse with this one, and I'm not just saying that because their adverts are annoying and misleading, "It must be that pro bit!"

Can anyone please remember what the advert was for, from 2014 I think, which had a man running his own business with a Windows phone (I think) and he just stops and looks at the camera with the opening gaming: "Seriously?"

The Muller ad with Kris "I have a very annoying voice) Akabusi. Possibly the worst advert so far this year
Yep, that one's a real shocker - it makes the Babs Windsor 'blue balls' one look positively classy

The Muller yoghurt ad with the woman on the beach and the voiceover saying delicious, gorgeous as we see a hunky guy coming out of the sea. It ends with her saying "thick" and him tripping up and her smirking. If this was a bloke saying this and a woman coming out of the sea it wouldn't be allowed.
It seems that sexism in ads is still acceptable if men are the target. .

of course they are, years ago I complained to the ASA.on this subject and was told "Men are more robust, but this doesn't mean that it's open season on men" Oh Yeah tell that to the marines buddy

I might be about to make it even scarier for you then because I don't think they even are using any effects at all They don't half pull some ugly faces though!

Must admit, despite knowing instantly that it'd be hated on here, I found it quite amusing the first time I saw it- key words being first time. For me, it's one of those ads that is slightly annoying/ slightly funny when I first see it, but once I've seen it half a dozen times, I want to throw a brick through the tv
